Besides, looking at the upcoming first year college bill for the oldest child, $70k for a bachelor's degree doesn't sound all that bad to me (not that this is directly related, simply an observation).
It's not that $70K is a lot for college (I believe that my undergraduate education cost twice that amount). It's that she spent that much on a pretty poorly regarded school, when she could have attended a local public college for a fraction of that. Seriously, the only time I've ever heard of this school is on signs in the subway, right next to the ads for $200 divorces and personal injury attorneys. I can't feel badly for someone who made a bad investment without doing any research.
